Color Me Fluentâ„¢ Program

By Alice Anne G. Farley M.Ed., CCC-SLP, BRS-FD

Grades PreK and Up

Developed and field-tested by Alice Anne Farley, Color Me Fluent™ is a fluency program that brings together the student, parent/caregiver, and speech-language pathologist (SLP) as a team. Together they implement family education, learning theory, and behavior modification to make changes in the student’s life and speech. The methods, activities, and materials in this program make it a versatile kit for any caseload, ages two to adult.

Color Me Fluentâ„¢ promotes overlearning of correct and exaggerated speech patterns by focusing on breathing, phonation, articulation, and resonation. These strategies help the stutterer gain control of his/her speaking. The block management strategies in the program reduce fear and avoidance of speaking. Levels of speech fluency represented in colors provide visual cues to the student regarding his/her speech.
